Sync system in Slave mode

You can set up the system in which the FD-8 in Slave mode synchronizes to an external master MIDI device. In this example, a master device is a computer running sequence software.

•Initialize the FD-8 before you start the operation.

•If multiple Programs exist, select the desired Program first.

Connecting an external device

1. Connect the MIDI OUT jack of a computer running sequence software to the MIDI IN jack of the FD-8.

The connected computer should be running sequence software that supports MMC/MTC.

Setting up the external device

1.Set the following items on the sequence software.

•Set up the sequence software to output MTC.

•Set a frame rate of MTC.

•Check the start time of the song.

*Refer to the instruction manual that comes with the external device for more information.
